The Impact

In this research we investigate the possibility of enhancing the way brick walls can be retrofitted in an economical manner and become more resistant to blast impact. Retrofitting a method usually done on constructed walls; however, the same strengthening procedures can also be applied to a new construction project. In this research we investigate three methods of reinforcing brick walls against blast impact. First, reinforcing the brick layer using carbon fiber strips only without epoxy, with the fiber being placed on the bare bricks before it is plastered with mortar finishing, second, reinforcing the brick wall by placing CFRP onto the bare bricks and fixing with epoxy prior to finishing or being plastered over with mortar, and third, retrofitting the outer surface of a finished, or plastered, brick wall with CFRP and fixed with epoxy as is commonly done. The impact test was conducted using a drop weight released at a fixed height to simulate blast energy of an explosion. The effects of the test on all the samples were observed to identify failure patterns. Flexural testing was also conducted to observe how the samples perform under normal flexural loading. It was discovered that the second option, i.e. placing the CFRP on the bare bricks and fixing with epoxy before it is finished or plastered over with mortar, performs the best. This is due to the CFRP being firmly fixed before mortar finishing, causing the CFRP to be held steadily in place during the impact, thus, helping the wall to resist the impact load. With the third option, the CFRP was able to resist the impact but, as has been observed in other studies, the CFRP delaminates from the wall. The first option does not work very well since the mortar is unable to perform as well as the epoxy in holding the fiber to the wall to resist the impact force. Thus, for plastered brick walls, it is better suited for it to be reinforced by FRP under the finished mortar rather than on it, thus reducing the problem of delaminated FRP from the wall surface.

The Impact

Stick-slip vibration reduces the drilling rate of penetration, causes early wear of bits, and threatens the safety of downhole tools. Therefore, it is necessary to study suppression methods of stick-slip vibration to achieve efficient and safe drilling. Field tests show that the use of downhole axial impactors is helpful to mitigate stick-slip vibration and improve rock-breaking efficiency. However, there are many deficiencies in the study of how axial impact load affects stick-slip vibration of a PDC bit. In this paper, based on the two-degrees-of-freedom spring-mass-damper model and similarity theory, a laboratory experiment device for suppressing stick-slip vibration of a PDC bit under axial impact load has been developed, and systematic experimental research has been carried out. The results show that the axial impact force can suppress the stick-slip vibration by reducing the amplitude of weight on bit and torque fluctuations and by increasing the main frequency of torque. The amplitude of impact force affects the choice of the optimal back-rake angle. The impact frequency is negatively correlated with the fluctuation amplitude of the rotary speed. When the impact frequency is greater than 100 Hz, the fluctuation amplitude of the rotary speed will not decrease.

The effect of the notch depth on the impact toughness of the adhesively bonded steel butt joint under Izod impact test is studied using both the finite element method and experimental method. The results obtained from numerical simulation showed that the response time with the peak stress Seqv occurred becomes little longer when the notch depth increased from 2 mm to 8 mm. And a negative longitudinal stress occurred when there is an 8 mm depth notch which might be beneficial to subject impact load. The results from the experiments showed that the effect of notch depth is evidently on the Izod impact properties. The impact energy absorbed by unit area of joint is increased as the notch depth increase

In high-speed gear drive and power transmission, system impact failure mode always occurs due to the sudden impact and shock loading during the system in running. Therefore, study on the amount of impact energy that can be absorbed by a gear is vital. Impact test equipment has been designed and modelled for the purpose to study the impact energy on gear tooth. This paper mainly focused on Finite Element Analysis (FEA) of impact energy that occurred during simulation involving the impact test equipment modelling. The simulation was conducted using Abaqus software on critical parts of the test equipment to simulate the impact event and generate impact data for analysis. The load cell in the model was assumed to be free fall at a certain height which gives impact load to the test gear. Three different type of material for the test gear were set up in this simulation. Results from the simulation show that each material possesses different impact energy characteristic. Impact energy values increased along with the height of load drop. AISI 1040 were found to be the toughest material at 3.0m drop that could withstand up to 44.87N.m of impact energy. These data will be used to validate data in physical experiments in further study.

Finite element model of both the single-layer Schwedler reticulated dome with the span of 50m and a Cuboid impactor were developed, incorporating ANSYS/LS-DYNA. PLASTIC_KINEMATIC (MAT_003) material model which takes stain rate into account was used to simulate steel under impact load. The automatic point to surface contact (NODES TO SURFACE) was applied between the dome and impact block. Three stages of time history curve of the impact force on the apex of the single-layer Scheduler reticulated dome including the impact stage, stable stalemate stage, the decaying stage were generalized according to its dynamic response. It must be pointed out that the peak of the impact force of the single-layer reticulated dome increase with the increase of the weight and the velocity of the impact block, but the change of the velocity of the impact block is more sensitive than the change of weight of the impact block for the effect of the peak of the impact force, and a platform value of the impact force of the single-layer reticulated dome change near a certain value, and the duration time of the impact gradually increase. Then four stages of time history curve of the impact displacement were proposed according to the dynamic response of impact on the apex of the single-layer reticulated dome based on numerical analysis. Four stages include in elastic deformation stage, plastic deformation stage, elastic rebound stage, free vibration stage in the position of the residual deformation.

The effect of the adhesive thickness on the impact toughness of the adhesively bonded steel butt joint during Izod impact test and the failure procedure is studied using the finite element method software ABAQUS. The results obtained show that the time with the peak stress Seqv occurred is corresponding to the element failure. And much higher peak stress might be subjected by the element near the bottom of the joint under impact load. The failure time of the element becomes little longer when the adhesive layer thickness increased from 0.1 mm to 0.4 mm. But the peak value of the Seqv decreases and the damage limit of the strain increased evidently as the adhesive thickness increased from 0.2 mm to 0.4 mm.

Bumper System

Improvement of bumper system is crucial in the automotive industry. The main objectives are to increase the performance of the bumper and also to find a solution to reduce the cost of the bumper thereby facilitating the reduction of production cost. The cost of bumper is high owing to the amount of material used and various processes involved .The new design considers on reducing the amount of material use and adding improved hydraulics instead of normal bumper to give cushioning effect and also assures safety in low speed collision. The new design also improves the ability to absorb more impact load and increase the protection of the front car component. The methodology employed was the study of the front bumper system, design and fabrication. The suitable material that can be used as the bumper in terms of economical but still maintaining the toughness is Plastic-Polycarbonate (Molded) which is not expensive compared to the best material from the analysis of E-Glass Fiber, Plastic-Nylon Type 6/6 and Plastic ABS (Molded). The suitable material to be used for making beam is AISI E52100 Steel. Rearrangement of the mounting positions gives a different effect on the ability to withstand the impact force.

The aim of this work is to study the effect of thickness and type of bullet in impact test on structures made from a composite material. The composite material used in this study was Glass Fibre Reinforced Polymer (GFRP). This material was fabricated to produce laminated plate specimens with dimension of 100 mm × 100 mm and 6, 8, 10, and 12 mm thickness. The impact test was performed using a Single Stage Gas Gun (SSGG) with blunt, hemispherical, and conical types of bullets. The gas gun pressure was set to 5, 10, 15 and 20 bar. In the tests, gas gun pressure, bullet type and specimen thickness were varied to ascertain the influence of these parameters on the materials response. The relation between impact force with gas pressure, type of bullets and specimens thickness are presented and discussed. The best thickness for GFRP was identified according to the impact results. From the impact tests conducted, it was found that at the same amount of pressure, the higher the thickness, the bigger the impact force because as the specimen thickness increases, the amount of impact force absorbed by the specimen is higher.

The wheel is one of the important safety components of the vehicle. So, it is required to pass the dynamic rotating bending test, the dynamic radial fatigue test and the impact test. The 90-degree impact test represents the driving performance of a vehicle when the vehicle drives through the road pits, or drives in other harsh conditions. As for the steel wheel, there are no mandatory requirements for the impact test. In recent years, some steel wheel enterprises bring up 90-degree impact test for steel wheels in order to ensure the quality of their products. In this paper, a finite element simulation model of the steel wheel impact test bed under the case of 90-degree was established according to an enterprise’s impact test requirement. The software “ABAQUS” was used to simulate the 90-degree impact test. A wheel / tire overall model was assembled, considering the impacts of tire inflation and the tire preloading process. Then the deformation state of the rim under 90-degree impact load was analyzed to predict whether it could pass the requirements of relevant impact test successfully. The results show that the steel wheel does not meet the requirements of the impact test, which makes it necessary to study the steel wheel’s impact test and optimize the structure of the rim. This paper also provides a reference method for the impact simulation of the steel wheel.

Taylor impact test is characterized by high impact energy, low cost, and good repeatability, giving it the technical foundation and development potential for application in high-g loading. In this paper, the feasibility of performing high-g load impact testing to a missile-borne recorder by conducting Taylor impact test was studied by combining simulation analyses with experimental verification. Acccording to the actual dimensions of the missile-borne recorder, an experimental piece was designed based on the Taylor impact principle. The impact loading characteristics of the missile-borne recorder were then simulated and analyzed at different impact velocities. In addition, the peak acceleration function and the pulse duration function of the load were fitted to guide the experimental design. A Taylor-Hopkinson impact experiment was also conducted to measure the impact load that was actually experienced by the missile-borne recorder and the results were compared with the results of strain measurements on the Hopkinson incident bar. The results showed that the peak value of impact load, the pulse duration and the waveform of the actual experimental results were in good agreement with the results predicted by the simulations. Additionally, the strain data measured on the incident bar could be used to verify or replace the acceleration testing of the specimen to simplify the experimental process required. Based on the impact velocity, high-g loading impact was achieved with peak values in the 7,000–30,000 g range and durations of 1.3–1 ms, and the waveform generated was a sawtooth wave. The research results provide a new approach for high amplitude and long pulse duration impact loading to large-mass components, and broaden the application field of Taylor impact test.
